About this blog
This is my personal blog which I started in 2003. At first it was called Communigations, a variation on Communicative Investigations. The blog transformed itself more into a personal investigation than being a blog on communication and therefore needed a new name.As a fencer, the name of this blog reflects how I write my thoughts into coherent stories, fence them off from all the sidepaths and rapidly go back and forth, covering various topics that interest me.

Turning Skallagrigg into a project? (23)
Last week I wrote about stop using the name Skallagrigg as my company name. My thoughts around that are developing.
I started thinking why I chose the name to begin with and, as I said last week, the story (still) resonates with some of the things that I think are very important in life. One thing in particular: how (computer)technology enables a communicative disabled girl. It feels wrong to let go of this idea in my work.
Skallagrigg is a novel, a story. On my English ‘business’-cards I put in a line about me “documenting people’s stories”. Adding those things up today (taking showers are way underrated in the workflow) I came to the sum that I can turn Skallagrigg into a project, just like In Full Flow is a project, for collecting stories on how technology enables people.
I even know where I want to start: collecting stories from people in the FabLab community.
Sounds like a plan! (and a story to share on Shift 2010?)
